Hi! I'm starting from a blank compact flash; i remove all the partition and create an empty new one on which I write the image. As i said even the 1.01 start, but there isn't no free space left to create a persistent storage partition (the image to write / of 1.01 is 256mb); the strange think is 1.0 was smaller and 0.7 smallest. In any version the Web interface report the primary partition as barely used (about 13%), so why create a great read-only partition? I think a 100mb partition/image is enough. That would leave plenty of space also on small CF.
Meanwhile how can I add to read-only partition the Asterisk sound? Actually it can be saved and added only on persistent storage partition... To Darrick: what issue can we have with a small compact flash?
